Relative path and flat file [message #96523] Mon, 05 December 2005 09:56 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi all,
I'd like to say if is possible to have relative path in setting flat
file data source. In other words, I'd like that report read file in its
current directory because I must use report in my application and I
don't know where the program is installed.

Thanks for any help,
Pietro

Hi Pietro,
I did something who works fine: I set the dataSource.HOME and the
dataSet.queryText in the beforeOpen() methods of those two objects. I need
to set the default properties to valid paths, for the report to be loaded
fine in the designer, but at runtime, the datasource and dataset are
linked to a dynamic path (see my 'date' paramater).
The xml in the .rptdesign source becomes:
------------------------
<parameters>
<scalar-parameter name="date" id="17">
...
</scalar-parameter>
</parameters>
<data-sources>
<oda-data-source
extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.flatfile" name="DataSource"
id="4">
<method
name="beforeOpen"><![CDATA[this.extensionProperties.HOME="P:\\daily\\ "+report.params["date"];]]></method>
<property name="HOME">P:\daily\20051111</property>
<property name="CHARSET">UTF-8</property>
<property name="INCLTYPELINE">NO</property>
</oda-data-source>
</data-sources>
<data-sets>
<oda-data-set
extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.flatfile.dataSet "
name="DataSet" id="5">
<property name="dataSource">DataSource</property>
<method name="beforeOpen"><![CDATA[this.queryText="select *
from percentiles-"+report.params["date"]+".csv";]]></method >
-------------------------

Hope it helps.
